Zetoc access via NHS Athens
NHS Athens users no longer have access to Zetoc (the British Library's electronic Table of Contents Service) from 1 April 2012 onwards.
This is due to a change in terms and conditions which would be very difficult for the NHS to meet due to the complexity and changing nature of its structure.
Zetoc remains accessible for users with KCL email accounts (available to NHS staff providing teaching and research support for KCL) via http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk
Please see our webpages for alternative services.
